Tires Kumho or MRF

Mit Kumho Ganzjahresreifen habe ich zum Beispiel sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das war auch im Winter im Harzgebiet absolut kein Problem.

We fitted Kumho Wattruns to our last Leaf, twice, and have also put them (Ecsta PS71s) on our Polestar2 a few months back. Reasonable performance, great price and good mileage based on the Leaf's first set (>40,000km).

Eu mi am luat Kumho și nu ar putea fi mai mulțumit.

Kumho are solid and great value. With studs those things are going to be savage !

Made in South Korea, and original equipment on Hyundai's and Kia's. I have been using them for years, excellent choice.

I went with Kuhmo Solus TA31 EV 215/55/17 and am very happy. Stock is 50 tall but due to rougher roads here and oncoming winter, I got a slight taller tire to better absorb road imperfections.

Leaving aside whether or not the mechanic should have changed them, the difference in quality and performance between Kumho and Bridgestone is negligible, virtually nil.

eu tot timpul am avut ca buget ~350lei pe o anvelopa ca am masina de o tona si un scuipat si in ultimii 5 ani am luat doar kumho

Primul model a fost kumho ecsta hm si au tinut super bine, le am si vandut dupa 3 ani la 350 toate 4

Acum 2 ani am luat kumho ps71 si s au uzat mult mai repede decat celalalte

I wore out a set of Kumho Ecsta 712's on my Miata in about 7.5K miles. Of course I was sliding the rears using the throttle to steer around curves on Highway 9 in California.

Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).

In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).
